You should have a look at the IPv6 privacy extensions. IPv6 doesn't work as you think it does. Your devices use temporary IPs even with a static IPv6 prefix.

If your access point doesn't advertise your SSID, your clients will. It's a bit counterintuitive, but in practice hiding your SSID does the opposite of what it says.

This happened to a friend with a Samsung TV. One of his devices relayed Ethernet via HDMI to the Samsung and suddenly it started a firmware upgrade.

Your link says nothing about Google Public DNS.

> since they're internet based, they aren't vulnerable to SS7 exploits. I think the problem with SS7 is that there's no authentication between providers. At least as far as I know.

That's true for TCP as well. Almost all consumer-grade routers block all incoming connection attempts, not just UDP. From a stateful firewall's point of view both UDP and TCP have state.

No problem with Chrome here, but I've heard Samsung's browser runs a lot smoother.

Some Windows wifi drivers offer an option for roaming aggressiveness. I think I've seen this with some Intel cards.

Security patches. OpenWRT hasn't had any in the past year.

You should have a look at traffic shaping and different networking queues. Fq_codel is great, but even SFQ works better than nothing. No need to turn off updates.

I'm pretty sure native apps with the same functionality consume less energy than web apps. Native apps and their frameworks are highly optimized.

Depends on the "coffee enthusiast". If you don't need the crema, an AeroPress and an electronic burr grinder are almost certainly the better choice. It's extremely convenient and the coffee tastes "full" withou

So, in this sense, vaccination should be an individual choice? This is something which concerns the individual, but has consequences for society as a whole.

On the contrary: You can even enable push notifications with Chrome for Android. Chat included. I haven't touched the native apps for ages and everything works just fine.

At least with Android you can switch keyboards very easily.

At some point there was a fake uBlock Origin in the Chrome Web Store and it ranked even higher than the original (afaik). Since then I'm a bit wary recommending browser extensions.

It's actually quite useful on many consumer devices, especially those with multiple cores. Most of the time I'm happy I can trade a few CPU cycles for better I/O performance.

Maybe some of them thought they were fine if they were using AV software? I know what you mean, but the marketing departments of many AV vendors praise it like some kind of all-around solution. I'm pretty sure some people think they ca

That's exactly what I had in mind when I read the GP. If third party AVs have a large and complex codebase with unknown or even known security flaws, they won't help much against targeted attacks or make them even easier. On the o

It'll just break and you won't have a working DNS.

I know some Samsung TVs which receive Ethernet via HDMI. So all connected devices have to be offline as well.

They release snapshots which are already quite stable in my experience. OpenWRT is practically a dead project, so you shouldn't expect security updates anymore. The last openwrt-security-announce mail is from march.

Why should I use DD-WRT? As far as I can see, they don't release any stable versions and their nightlies are broken all the time. The software in OpenWRT / LEDE seems to be much more up to date and they release stable versions.
